I loved this series and it's breathtaking pastelness, the voice work was impeccable and OP and ED fantastic, with a shout out for that OP, my favorite so far this year. I laughed my head off throughout all 12 episodes, the comedic timing was pinpoint and hit my sweet spots every single time, (I hope Mira had stock in the company that made his glasses). I agree about Cocoa, it's a shame she wasn't able to see how well this series was made and we won't get closure. But in my mind, I see Mira and Byakuya hooking up proper and Mira rescuing her from her dire straits somehow. This series was my medicine from all thing negative this summer and wished there was more. Sigh....

I was also totally won over by this series (except for the other magical girl, who is responsible for all of the series' weakest points). Despite that, I do have to agree that the half-length episodes felt right. Maybe that was necessitated by the limited amount of source material the production team had to draw from, but even if it wasn't, this is content that works best in short form.

This was such a sincerely sweet, cute, and fun series.

I only wish there could be more and that Cocoa Fujiwara had lived to continue the series, but I think Cocoa would be extremely happy with the level of effort and love Bones poured into this series like Mira and Byakuya did for each other.

This was a very sweet story and quite beautiful very often.
